The Felt Trilby Fedora has been a staple of fashion for many decades. The trilby is a narrow-brimmed hat which is often seen at horse races and traditionally worn by people of high social status. Snap brim refers to the short brim which has been "snapped down" at the front and raised at the back, generally a standard fedora will have a wider brim that is flatter. This hat is well built to resist moderate crushing and light rain. Our felt trilbies are blocked to have the classic tear-drop crown design as seen on genuine Panama hats. Although commonly noted as a men's hat, this trilby will look great on women as well. Use it casually or for dress, this hat will go well with any suit.

Authentic Panama hats and similar straw hats can be passed on for many generations with proper care. Here are some tips on making sure yours stays in great condition:

When the hat is not being worn it should be stored in its box or in a dry, cool place.

These hats should avoid contact with rain or high humidity. It can cause the hat to lose its shape. Light rain is fine but the hat should be dried as soon as possible.

Handle the hat by its brim. Handling (pinching) by the crown will eventually cause the straw around the crown to crack.

When resting your hat on a table or surface, place it on its crown (upside down), rather than on its brim. When hanging it up on a coat or hat rack make sure the peg rests on the sweatband, not the straw.

To clean the hat, simply use a soft bristled brush. For stains, baby wipes or similar wet wipes can be used. Baby wipes tend to have the perfect amount of moisture and gentle cleansing ingredients for straw hats

Leather is one of the most durable and long-lasting materials used for hats. Even then simple care should be done to ensure the leather remains in great shape:

Avoid using saddle soap or harsh cleaners that may dry your leather hat.

When resting your hat on a table or surface, place it on its crown (upside down), rather than on its brim.

Leather is excellent for sun protection but when not being worn the hat should be stored in the shade or a dark area. Overexposure to ultraviolet rays can cause the hat to become fragile and crack or the color to fade. Avoid storing your leather hat near windows or on the dashboard of your car.

Keep your hat away from food, makeup, or any oil-based products.

In the case of accidentally spills or stains, the hat should be immediately cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

For more stubborn stains gentle commercial leather cleaners from local shoe shops or department stores can be used. However, you should test the product on an inconspicuous area first.

Properly treated leather hats such as those we carry can resist heavy rainfall or quick underwater dunks. If your hat does become soaked through, leave it to dry naturally. Using heat to dry the hat can cause it to shrink and no longer fit.

Wool and felt has been praised by hat makers for centuries for its ability to maintain shape, keep your head warm, resist rain, and its unique structure. Caring for wool & felt hats is quite simple:

When the hat is not being worn it should be stored in its box or in a dry, cool place.

The most effective way to clean dirt and light stains from wool and felt hats is to use a horsehair brush

liquid cleaners should be avoided

When resting your hat on a table or surface, place it on its crown (upside down), rather than on its brim.

Felt hats are more resistant to rain than wool.

In case the hat gets severely wet, invert the sweatband so it's sticking out of the hat. Then stand the hat on the hat band using a clean, level surface. Allow it to dry naturally. Using heat to dry the hat can cause it to shrink and no longer fit or warp.

You might notice that some sizes are priced higher than other. The reason for this is that some sizes require more time and material to make. Typically, you will see a price difference on X-Large sizes and X-Small sizes.
